Yo, this flyer is OFFICIAL!!! I don't know who dug this out the archives, but reading it got the butterflies jumpin' in my stomach. Just seeing Duane's old Fordham Hills phone number brings back maaad memories. Everybody knows the New Year's parties at D's house were legendary. It's wild cause even though they were house parties, and at house parties anything goes, you could see the promoter in D emerging. I remember one year I was dancing & having a good time (as always) & I took off my shirt. Then D came to me & said, "Come on Ant put your shirt back on, we're keeping this classy." I can never say it enough - R.I.P. Diamond D.

Damn! You got a million of em Ant. Do you forget any details? Anyway, this flier is special not just because it’s from back in da day. This is the first flier and party to represent Gator as a production company. Prior to this, there were Gator parties but this was the very first official Gator Productions party anywhere. So you learn a little Gator history by reading the contacts people on this flier. Gator as a group was started by the two old heads on the page, Kermit and myself (I’ll tell that story another time.) But Gator Productions was started by House, Duane and none other than your page master Corey ( I gave him the name Hardcore.) These are the three founding fathers of Gator Productions. Also this was the first advertisement to a Gator function that gave shouts to brothers we lost in the neighborhood. Whoever sent this in has a lot of true Gator love in them. And just so you know, this place is still open for business and it looks good inside. I’m in there on the regular remembering how it used to be like Lola in the Copacabana.

OK Poobah, well here's a million & one. I'm sure I never told you about the time Snoop(R.I.P.) was contemplating knocking my block off!!! And not with the boxing gloves either. One day I was walking from Fordham to Belmont & I was just passing the bodega where Boog slammed the mexican twice for hitting Shante. Anyway, he was driving past me in the red beemer & I flashed him the peace sign. Apparently due to the speed in which he was traveling, he only saw one of my fingers, and it was not the good one. Yo, he did a donut right before St. Barnabas & floored it to where I was in 2.8 seconds! I thought he was gonna ask me if I wanted to ride, but he was like, "Yo money, you just stuck your middle finger up at me (with nothing close to a smile on his face)?" I answered, "Hell no, Snoop, why would I do that? I would never do that! That was the peace sign, Snoop. Honest it was!" So after seeing the sweat of fear dripping down my face and pouring into my eyes, he said, "Oh aight" and sped off.
Now for those who may be thinking "Damn, Ant went out like a sucka", obviously you never met Snoop. In the 80's you'd rather fight House with BOTH hands tied behind your back, than mess with Snoop! I'll leave it at that. He was definitely the one you wanted to have your back. Poobah, I still remember Snoop telling you to get on the back of bike when we first got the call about Rashea having beef at his girl's house over by Morris high school & him rolling with us in case we needed him.
R.I.P. brotha!

Nah, Corey. Herb wasn't in North Carolina at that time. But he was spotted walking his mountain bike over by the Bronx Zoo, repotedly shouting, "YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU GIRL, WHY YOU DO ME LIKE THIS?!?!"

Yo, I'm glad you posted that flyer, for more than a few reasons. One of which is that I don't think we shouted out Sean on the blog yet. R.I.P. to Sean aka Prince! He was another good brotha that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Herb, remember when you got out the hospital & me, you, & your man rode all over Southern Blvd for hours lookin' for the kid that did it - with ONE 5-shot banger? I love you, my brotha, but I'm glad we never caught him cause I'm sure he was hiding out with much more fire power than we had!

Drove around in the Black Escort that had BIG ANT on the front, and Virginia tags on the back, looking to go shoot a nicca - ( in my guiness commercial voice) BRILLIANT!!!

Good one, but we were not in my car. And if you're going to mention my 1st automobile, come correct - Big Ant on the front windshield & Pimpin' Ain't Easy on the back! Dawn Michelle, remember my little black escort?
One time I picked up Dawn & 3 of her girls to go to a party in Fred's house on Belmont in '90 or '91. When it was time to leave this drunk spanish dude was outside talkin' sh#t, so I knocked him out in the middle of the street. But when he fell he hit his head on the concrete & I got nervous cause I was in the Navy & could get in real trouble if I got arrested, so I jumped in the car and these chicks that were with Corey from 170th street jumped in the car too & asked me to take them home. I was trying to get up outta there, so I had to leave Dawn & company. Sorry for that. But I think she found a new man that night, so it wasn't all bad.

Ant, I swear to goodness that I like the way that you tell a story. But I want to back you up on that, you don't want a problem with Snoop shite. I remember one time House was getting excited with Snoop and Snoop told him that if they got into it that house would be a stack of bricks. Me and Duane were laughing for weeks on that one. Another cat that could give a threat and you know that meant it was Johnny Cool. He use to have this way of saying everything like he was the coolest dude alive and that's how he got his name. I remember he said that if you effed with him it was gonna be like channel 4 at 9 O Clock...

...Nots mutha fluckin landing!

I swear, me and Duane laughed at that one for years.

Yo Ant, I remmeber that freakin night like it was yesterday. Freddy was having a pajama party. I had janine and her girl, the big darkskin one that was sweatin you with me. I walked them downstairs, went upstairs to tell Freddy i'd be back. When I got downstairs...I think Dawn or some other woman was outside looking shook. I'm like " WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? Where IS ANTHONY?" they were like, Ant had beef with this dude and knocked him out...then he broke out cause they think the dude is dead! LOL.....I ain't see you ase for like 7 months after that! LOL

Yo Corey, it's crazy cause I had no idea you knew what happened downstairs or that I took your peoples home. The funny part was Takim. Me & the dude square off in the street & Takim comes creepin' up behind duke to snuff him. I had to call a time out. I'm like "yo Ta, come on man, all these shorties out here, let me handle my business". I'm thinking that after I rock money I'll bask in the glory for a while with the ladies on my arm & blood on my knuckles. But after his head hit the pavement reality kicked in! I thought he was dead & I was going to the island. My hands didn't stop shaking for 20 minutes. I know your girl's friend was thinking, "Some gangsta he is".

Daaaaamn, Goo Goo!!! Mitch Green?!?! Mitch's eye was dangling out the socket when Tyson finished with him outside Dapper Dan's. Freddy, when Michelle came to you & said a Hughes Boy touched her butt, you was supposed to reply, "Well what did you do to make him touch your butt?" "Get in the house!" And left that one alone. You know them Hughes Boys wanted to be Ching-a-lings so bad they'd slice up their own mothers for a leather jacket.

I see the Hughes boys put the fear in your hearts...in my B.G. (before Gator) days I ran with who could be called the orignal hughes boys, though we didn't call ourselves that (Fred would have probably been included if he hadn't moved to Garden St.) and between 180th and 181st was our block...anyway the "hughes boys" stepped to us and had us outnumbered, but somehow we were able to convince them to fight us 1 at a time, needless to say they lost each fight, even though some of us fought twice (not me)...I don't recall if Hughes Boy Tom was with them at the time, but if he was, he went down like the rest of them.

That's how it goes, if you punch a Gator in the eye in 1987 Kermit will eff you up in 1975. Thank you for bustin those azzezz for me Kermit. Herb, that's your favorite story and you still don't tell it right.

Hahahahaha. Herb told it to me on the phone and had me rolling! Herb is more of a Sit-Com type of due, it has to happen in real time.....You and Ant on the other hand can go back in time and describe stuff in detail, that make the story extra funny and everyone can understand it.
That line about Kermit beating people up in 1975 is CLASSIC!!!!!
Question:
Why Kermit think he alwasy starting a crew? I bet since he had a bike back in the late 60's, that he started the Ching-a-lings too.....Go read a book Kermy.

Why Kermit think he always starting a crew? I bet since he had a bike back in the late 60's, that he started the Ching-a-lings too.....Go read a book Kermy.
